Imagine this: you're part of a big human empire that - over 100 years ago - managed to wipe out the dragons that once plagued your lands.
Then you find out that they're not all gone after all, and that maybe humans and dragons have a lot more in common than you first thought.
That's the situation that the protagonist of Dead Dragons - a chap named Will - finds himself in, and it's up to him (and by proxy, you) to uncover their dragon-y mysteries across dozens of hours of JRPG.
It's from Kemco, has a lovely 2D anime visual style, an intriguing battle system, and is out now on iOS and Android.

Grace of Letoile is the tale of Vedley, and a pack of "automated dolls" called Letoiles who have the ability to control time. Vedley attempts to defeat these Letoiles and steal the Sertzes that lie at their cores, as doing so will grant him his one wish: to bring his parents back from the dead.
Queue mystery, intrigue, and a whole lot of battling in this new JRPG from Kemco.

For years discerning gaming journalists and fans alike have prophesied the tragic death of a formerly untouchable genre - one that we all grew up with and share our finest gaming memories with.
That's right, the JRPG, which is apparently dead, buried, and almost forgotten.
Well, it turns out it isn't dead - it's just hiding on Android, where it will be re-emerging in 2015. Check out the trailers below for video evidence of this sleeping giant.

Kemco's latest RPG Seven Sacred Beasts is out now on Android, and at half price - a tempting $3.99 - for its initial release.
Seven Sacred Beasts looks like a monster-filled mash up of Pokemon and Final Fantasy, with lots of monsters to collect, level up, evolve, and battle, plus the usual JRPG melodramatics about dark knights and secret identities, all presented in a Super Nintendo era visual style.
Sound good? Go grab it via the link below.

We all like something for nothing, and Kemco is offering RPG fans with iOS and Android devices exactly that.
One of their role playing games - Machine Knight - has just hit 1,000,000 downloads on Android, so to celebrate Kemco is giving away another of its RPGs for free. It's called Band of Monsters, and considering that the game is usually priced $7.99 / £5.49, this promotion represents quite the saving on this usually premium title.
Not convinced by the trailer? All you need to know is that you'll be going on a long quest to tame monsters around the world, combining them with one another when caught to make all-new monsters, and using them to fight in classic JRPG-style battles.…

Kemco has just released Fanatic Earth onto the iOS and Android app stores, and here's the elevator pitch that got me excited for that happening;
Xilleon City is the last remaining bastion of humanity, which has seen the majority of its population wiped out by an alien disease. You play as a man with probably The Best Hair Ever who is unfortunately suffering from a spot of amnesia, and pretty soon you find yourself in trouble with a gigantic (and undoubtedly evil) corporation called Cyphate.
If the above synopsis, and the below video is something you reckon you'll want to invest a few dozen hours in, then you best go grab Fanatic Earth now, as it's currently celebrating its launch with a sa…

Things have changed since FDG's nostalgic RPG Across Age was released on the App Store back in 2010. Though old-skool Zelda-alikes were relatively thin on the ground four years ago, iOS gamer have since been drowned in a tidal wave of similarly styled retro-JRPG experiences.
Unlike many of these one-shot copy / paste efforts, however, the newly released Across Age 2 HD - which is now available on iPad - does build on an established RPG franchise. And, to its credit, it doesn't seem to stick as closely to the cookie-cutter approach of some of its peers.
The basic premise remains unchanged. You're cast as returning heroes Ales and Ceska, and must jump headfirst into another ti…
